What do you mean "in secret"? The hospital received the form in full detail. There is nothing secret about it. It's like claiming the ToS are secret because none reads it.

No, it's not at all like that. If someone hands you papers to sign and you give them different papers without telling them so, that is clear intent to deceive, which makes it fraud, or at minimum makes the contract void.
